Bob Boynton grew up on a dairy farm in northern California, surrounded by a diverse array of animals. His love for animals and nature shaped his life and stories. Today, he lives in Winter Park, CO, with his wife, Jan, and their dog, Clancy—the inspiration for his book.

With a background in agricultural economics, Bob has worked in the farming and dairy industries. But his passion for storytelling led him to write a heartwarming tale for children. His book encourages kids to dream big, just like Clancy!

Bob’s life experiences—from farm work to writing—make his stories feel real and full of heart. Through Dogs Can’t Fly. Or Can They? he shares a message of hope, friendship, and never giving up.
